Crystal- I think i remember you saying that your anthra 09 had a lot of blue undertones? did you post a pic of it anywhere, I would like to see how it differs from marine..Thanks
If not could you post again? would love to see how it differs, as I am getting a new to me anthra 09 GH city and want to know if the marine is different enough to warrant me crossing over to marinaville

 

[shopaholic48]

its smaller than the work, more structured in built. You can also let the handle slip down from your shoulder when you want to find something from the bag

Yes it does shopaholic, Thank you.
And THANK YOU for sending your midday to T&D so we could have another fab bag in our collection
Does it compare in size to the work? I have always shy'ed away as the opening seemed smaller, with the work you can let a handle slip down from your shouler and have a rummage to find what you're looking for.
It would appear with the midday you would have to use both hands to open it and get something out? Didn't seem as practical as the work design, am i wrong?

Malena- I use only LMB to condition my NBF bags, yes they do get darker, but in 1-2 days they look the same, just more soft, not dry and no white dust ( KWIM Amethyst have like like dust)- hope you understand me
I made you pic's- sorry its night here so its hard to see...
So the first pic's is Amethyst City I put LMB 1 hour ago so its still 'wet' and mirror with no conditioner, next pic is the same 'wet' City with LMB and 'dry' Amethyst Work ( I conditioned this Work a week ago)...
So if you are scear to use LMB on your bag try first at the back on mirror and if you like it go brave on the bag

I know exactly what you mean by "white dust", that's how my new Ame seems to me, like there's white dust in the leather Your bags seem to return to the old colour in a few days, I think I'll take my chances because I don't like the look of the leather now. Have you used Feel Soft Moisturiser only or sth else as well?

Oh, and the leather looks delish after you conditioned it, how long does the effect last? Is it necesarry to repeat the process in a month or so?

Thank you so much for all your help and effort

 

[mm07]

Yep, But i can try and do a morph of the 2...that should be funny...
MM07- You are very petite i see, so of course the handles fit perfectly...you look like a model

Thank you darl
I think I may be your size , I'm 5'5 with no hills , Not tall at all but not too small , so Midday will fit over your shoulder even with coat(I'm with denim jacket on the pic)+ Midday is soft on the top- its not hard like Works, so fit way better over the shoulder than Work

Here we go bagalicious-pic's over the shoulder, didnt post them today because bad qlty. they are so dark, cant see any bag-only my bed)
Pic's credit me

for the chanel, the rounder clasp is apparently on newer chanels, starting in 2008. There have been both rounder clasps and the flat clasps that i've seen on tpf. it seems like theres really no explanation for why some have the flat ones and some have the rounder ones

ps, mm07: thats my attempt at catcalling, hahaa... love the modeling pic, you make that midday look gorgeous!

yep Malena I used only LMB 'feel soft m." The effect last 7-10 daysthe first time and after this you have to do it again...I think I will do it 3 times and after this I will use LMB "pro- treatment' and Ame will be perfect

mm07- You have made me fall in love with the midday. I was so sure before that I didn't need it, but now, I love it. The midday looks perfect on you! Thanks for the mod pics.

yayyy for mulberry alexas! That's exciting that they will be available in around 2 weeks.

!

Flat clasps are for the permanent line and round are seasonal colors. Any color not in the permanent ligne, will have the rounder clasps. macaroonie, is correct that they did introduce the rounder, thinner turn lock in 2008 for all styles though seemingly interchangeable. Many feel it's an attempt at modernization and want their fat clasps back!

Everyones new purchases look great!

[parkmin90]

[bagalicious]

[parkmin90]

bagalicious- It's lovely! Congrats! The city style looks great on you!

 

[arisaa]

^OMG bagal9icious I love the city gh on you!! Congrats on your amazing new bag I love it (I'm a city gh girl)!

 

[PinkPrincess113]

gosh bagalicious is there a bag you can't rock?! i'm loving you with the city GGH look and now for your GSH city. are you a raisin gal? GSH raisin city would be gorgeous too if you think marine might be too similar!

 

[fanbao26]

bagalicious i think anthra and the officier are still different. anthra does have a little bit of blue tone to it.. but overall its a bluetoned gray shade color. Officier is blue with a purplish undertone. SO YOU SHOULD HAVE BOTH!!!! XD

 

[fanbao26]

OH AND the khaki PS1 should be delivered today. Hopefully I can go pick it up today : )))))) eeeek!! and my frd just bought her very first chanel too!! so excited

 

[beavercall]

I asked T&D about my marine brief and here's the answer

Great to hear from.
Yes you Officer Mid Day GGH is ready and looks very beautiful.
We may have to ship this to friend in London because we cannot use DHL any longer.
I will be in touch very soon.

Now, it wasn't even a midday but a brief....but what's the story with the friend in London??? :S

shoegal I hope you emailed them again to clear this up - didn't you order a marine midday before and changed your mind to brief? Maybe t&d think you still wanted a midday - PLEASE make sure you clear it up with them!! They are forgetful sometimes

 

[dopagenic]

have any of you return t&d bags before?
i just received my framboise p/t and realize that the colour doesn't go with majority of my wardrobe. but if the process is too much work/not worth it, i might just keep it.

 

[ViaSarah]

coco109 Thanks for the pic. I wasn't a fan of the leopard but it actually looks good.

mm07 Thanks for sharing. The marine/officier looks great! How dark is it in person? Your amethyst family is GORGEOUS (i'm speechlessheart:. The GGH on amethyst is really growing on me.. I really want it in midday.

bagalicious Congrats and the city looks great!
